I have just given a first Roo presentation at the Java User Group Karlsruhe, Germany (http://jug-ka.de). It was just a short introduction, but seemed like I generated interest in Roo within the audience. So if there are Kangaroos left, I wouldn't mind to give one a new home at the Hochschule Heilbronn in Germany. :-)

Anyways, good work with Roo so far, but I didn't expect anything else from you and the others at SpringSource. Looking forward to the new versions and features.

It had to happen.... We're all out of kangaroos! Thanks to everyone who presented at conferences and user groups. I'm arranging some more goodies in the near future, so keep your eyes out for that. Follow @SpringRoo on Twitter and we'll make an announcement (plus of course here on the forum).

When the Mother and Child Institute in Bogota, Colombia, found itself short on doctors, nurses, and incubators, Dr. Edgar Rey came up with an idea now known as kangaroo care. Aspects of kangaroo care are now in use even in wealthy countries — most hospitals in the United States, for example, have adopted some kangaroo care practices. But its real impact has been felt in poor countries, where it has saved countless preemies’ lives and helped others to survive with fewer problems.

In this system, the mother of a premature infant puts the baby on her exposed chest. The baby is dressed only in a diaper and sometimes a cap, is kept in an upright or semi-upright position, and has all but its head covered by its mother’s shirt.

The baby’s temperature is regulated by the sympathetic biological responses that occur when a mother and infant are in close physical contact — the mother’s breasts actually heat up or cool down.
